I love this. You write really good. Now I'm a fan.

Thanks! :D I've got a finished story back in the archives too; you can find it tagged under "The Bell Tower of St. Barnabas." It's a pretty different kind of story though (pretty fluffy and silly).

[popuranoki]

Alright. I love fluff stories. You could publish these under short BL stories. I would buy that. :P

/To the tags.

You know, I wish there were a way to do that. Like, you know how June manga publishes some yaoi novels? Like that, only for stuff that was originally written in English XD

Now that was a big Ouch! I knew something was bound to go wrong after all the niceties.

I agree with Jack, Taira is such a potty mouth. My chest tightens (and it's not because my bra is too small) when I think of the things that could have happened to Taira to make him like that.

I love the dialogue, it's natural and enjoyable.

I have a female Greg in my office, although in addition to being nosy and irritating, mine likes to eat our food while she's at it.

Well, it has to be pretty dramatic to take Taira from the innocent little wallflower he used to be to this kind of slutty, dirty-talking hardass. I'll let you keep wondering, but of course it wasn't pleasant.

Yay! :)

Ahahaha! You know, I think there's a Greg in every office! XD

[donhisiewen]

I forgot, that oily residue that Jack wiped off, I get that, too. It's quite irritating but here it was just another really nice detail.

That's what I have against touchscreen devices, actually. I have oily fingers and I'd rather not have them all over a screen.

I think I'm going to have to insert something about Marketing Greg raiding the fridge in the break room now. XD

Nice chapter! And I wanted to tell you that I loved the dialogues even before I read what you had written about the banter. So it's like now I must tell you this! I honestly think it's perfect. It doesn't look like a filler, really. The dialogues are okay the way they are, I enjoyed them a lot. And I enjoyed the story a lot, too. It's nice to see how Jack is slowly falling for Taira. Perhaps that's not right, he was already fallen in love with him, but now he's noticing it. That's cool. I can't wait to read the next chapter, but unluckily I must go dinner XD Ah, uff! See you soon!

X3 I'm glad you like the banter! I'm very fond of writing it, so I'm glad you liked reading it.

Jack is pretty spectacularly clueless about his own feelings, though. I don't think what he felt about Taira when they were younger was precisely love, though he was somehow attached enough to never forget about him despite their not being particularly close. I think it was just something that could very easily be turned into love when the suggestion was made to him.

Oh, well, Jack is a little slow at understanding things, isn't he? He should drink more. When he's drunk, he knows what to do, ahaha XD

[praysolace]

Not the best advice I've ever heard XD
